Old Lady of Threadneedle Street Becomes Government Bank
The Bank of England, 250 years old, will be nationalized by the new Labour government. Shares will be bought with government bonds at 3 percent, four bonds per share, guaranteeing 12 percent on par for 20 years. The move shifts financial control to Parliament and the state, shaping long term British credit. Other pledges to nationalize iron and steel, fuel and power, inland transport, and railroads face harder paths.
